Important Precautions

Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. This product is intended for use as an adjustable mattress support platform that contours for patient comfort with adjustable height for patient and caregiver convenience. Use of this product in a manner for which it was not designed could result in

unproven or unsafe conguration, potentially resulting in injury or death.

Warning: Possible Injury. The intended users of this

product are healthcare employees and patients (use of patient controls only) need to be an adult who are at least fteen years in age and have the physical strength and

cognitive skills to operate and control the product. Follow

facility safety protocols if an intended user does not have the physical strength or cognitive skills to operate and control the product safely.

Warning: Possible Injury. Before adjusting bed, ensure

that area under and near bed perimeter is free of people and

obstructions. Failure to do so could result in injury.

Warning: Possible Injury. Keep bed in lowest position

except when providing care (bathing, clothing changes, etc.). Bed should be at lowest convenient height for entry or exit. Failure to do so could result in injury.

Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Floor locks increase

bed stability and patient safety. Floor and caster swivel locks must be locked prior to any patient transfer or patient use of the bed. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.

Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Patients may

become entangled in pendant cord. Patients with reduced

mental acuity should not be allowed access to pendant. Unsupervised use of pendant could result in injury or death.

Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Bed safe working load

is 600 pounds. This is total weight counting patient, mattress, bedding and any other equipment or persons likely to be on

bed. Do not exceed 600-pound safe working load. Exceeding

the safe working load could result in property damage, injury

or death.

Warning: Bed is intended for adults use. Intended adult

patients include those having a physical size equal to or more than 146cm (57.5in), a mass equal to or more than 40kg ( 88lbs) and a body mass index (BMI) equal to or more than 17. Patients that do not meet this criterion, should be assessed according to the patient’s physical and mental

condition and initiate an appropriate individual care plan to address entrapment risk prior to using the bed.

Warning: Possible Fire Hazard. Use nasal mask or ½ bed

tent oxygen administering equipment. Oxygen tent should

not extend below mattress support platform. Pendant should

not be placed in an oxygen-enriched environment such as an oxygen tent. Use of electrical circuits in an oxygen-enriched environment could result in a re hazard.

Warning: Possible Shock Hazard. Unplug power cord from

wall outlet before performing any maintenance, cleaning, or service to the bed. Failure to do so could result in injury or death. Note: In case of unexpected movement,disconnect or switch o󰀨 battery and unplug bed from any outlet.

Warning: Possible Shock Hazard. Injury may result from improper routing of the power cord. Always follow the proper factory-installed routing conguration. Failure to do so could result in injury or death. Do not position the device where

access to mains connection cannot be disconnected.

Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Use a mattress that

is properly sized to t mattress support platform, which

will remain centered on mattress support platform relative to State and Federal guidelines. Length and width should

match mattress support platform. Use of an improperly tted mattress could result in injury or death.

Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. If a patient’s mental

or physical condition could lead to patient entrapment, the mattress support platform should be left in the at position when unattended. Failure to do so could result in injury or

death.

Warning: Possible Injury or Death. An optimal bed system assessment should be conducted on each patient by a qualied clinician or medical provider to ensure maximum safety of the patient. The assessment should be conducted within the context of, and in compliance with, the state

and federal guidelines related to the use of restraints and

bed system entrapment guidance, including the Clinical

Guidance for the Assessment and Implementation of Side

Rails published by the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup of

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Further information can be obtained at the following web address: http://www.

fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/ GeneralHospitalDevicesandSupplies/HospitalBeds/default.

htm.

Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Use a properly sized mattress in order to minimize the gap between the side of

mattress and Side Rails/Assist Devices. This gap must be small enough to prevent patient from getting his/her head

or neck caught in this location. Make sure that raising or lowering bed, or contouring the mattress support platform, does not create any hazardous gaps. Excessive gaps may result in injury or death.

Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Do not use any Side Rails/Assist Devices until you verify they are locked in place. Failure to lock assist devices may result in injury or death.

Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Do not use any replacement parts not manufactured, marketed, or provided by Joerns Healthcare on any Joerns bed. Use of unapproved replacement parts may result in injury or death.

Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. If using accessories

not manufactured, marketed, or provided by Joerns Healthcare for Joerns® beds, consult with the manufacturer for compatibility and limitations prior to use. Failure to do so may result in injury or death.

Warning: Possible Shock Hazard. Bed power cord has a

hospital-grade, 3-prong grounded plug. Grounding reliability can only be achieved when equipment is connected to an equivalent receptacle marked “hospital-grade”. If external grounding conductor is in doubt, operate bed from backup battery. Failure to do so could result in injury.

Warning: Possible Equipment Damage Or Injury To

Sta󰀨 Members. Service and repair must only be performed by qualied, authorized Joerns Healthcare personnel (call 800-26-0270).

Warning: Explosion Hazard. Do not use in the presence of

ammable anesthetics, gas or vapors. Failure to heed this warning could result in equipment damage, injury or death.

Caution: Stay clear of underneath the bed when adjusting or

moving the bed.

Caution: Mattress support platform is not grounded, nor does it have a potential equalization connection point. To prevent injury to patient connected to intravascular or intracardial medical equipment, alternate measure must be implemented to equalize the potential between mattress support platform and medical equipment.

Warning: To reduce the risk of injury, ensure the mattress support platform is horizontal and in the lowest position with the side rails fully raised and locked when moving the bed with a patient in it. For best maneuverability, push the bed

from the head end.

Any person who connects external equipment to signal inputs, signal outputs or other connectors has formed a Medical Electrical System and is therefore responsible for the system to comply with the requirements. If in doubt, contact qualied medical technician or your local

representative.

Caution: Particular precaution must be considered during

exposure to strong emission source such as High Frequency surgical equipment and similar devices. Do not route High Frequency cables on or near device. If in doubt, contact a qualied technician.

Warning: Possible Injury or Death. Make sure mattress

support platform width and length are adjusted to match mattress and all casters are locked during patient transfers.

Caution: To avoid damage to the side rail mechanisms,

do not move the bed using the side rails. Use the handles integrated in the head and foot panels to move the bed.

Caution: Before transporting bed, unplug bed from power source, wrap power cord around cord storage hooks on bed

frame below head panel and hang pendant from head panel.

Failure to do so could result in power cord, pendant cord, or bed damage, thereby creating a potential hazard.

Caution: Drainage bag loops are not intended for use as tie downs.

There are no known contraindications for this device.

To avoid injury to the patient and/or user, do not attempt to move the bed laterally with the steer engaged. The wheel

cannot swivel.

Warning: The bed should not be used adjacent to, or stacked with, other equipment due to the risk of electronic interference. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the bed should be observed to verify normal operation in the conguration in which it will be used.

Warning: Using non-approved cables and accessories may negatively a󰀨ect the EMC performance.

Warning: Mobile RF communication equipment can a󰀨ect Medical Electrical Equipment.

Warning: Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided

in this manual.

Warning: External equipment intended for connection to signal inputs, signal outputs or other connectors shall comply with the relevant product standard. In addition, all such combinations – Medical Electrical Systems – shall comply with the safety requirements stated in the general standard IEC 60601-1. Any equipment not complying with the leakage current requirements in IEC 60601-1 shall be kept outside the patient environment i.e. at least 5 ft (1.5 m)

from the patient support or shall be supplied via a separation transformer to reduce the leakage currents.

The Joerns’ ACX bed is intended for use within institutional healthcare environments 3 (ie: rehabilitational care). Joerns Healthcare recommends compliance to the regulations and guidelines specied to your locality.

When assessing the risk for entrapment, you need to consider your bed, mattress, Head/Foot Panels, Side Rails/ Assist Device and other accessories, as a system. It is also extremely important to review the patient’s physical and

mental condition and initiate an appropriate individual care

plan to address entrapment risk. All Joerns bed systems are evaluated for compliance to the FDA/CDRH “Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment.” For more information, call Customer Care, 800-826-0270.

Bed System Entrapment Information

In April 1999, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in partnership with representatives from the hospital and post-acute bed industry, including Joerns Healthcare, national healthcare organizations, resident advocacy groups, and other federal agencies formed the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup (HBSW). The workgroup’s goal is to improve the safety of

bed frames for patients and residents in all health care settings who are most vulnerable to the risk of

entrapment. The e󰀨orts of the FDA and the HBSW

culminated in the FDA’s release of recommended

guidelines intended to reduce the risk of entrapment,

including dimensional limits for critical gaps and

spaces between bed system components and clinical

guidance for assessment and implementation of bed side rails in various health care settings.

Entrapment zones involve the relationship of bed components often directly assembled by the healthcare facility rather than the manufacturer. Therefore, compliance is the responsibility of the facility.

Battery Backup System

The bed is equipped with a battery backup system, which allows the electrically operated functions to be

used when the bed is disconnected from the main power source. The bed transitions between main

power and battery power automatically. To charge the battery, connect the power cord to a grounded

hospital-grade receptacle. The bed should be plugged

in as often as possible to maximize battery life.

If the bed is not used for a long period of time, it is recommended that the battery be charged at least 24 hours before operating on battery power.

Note: Keep the bed plugged into a main power receptacle for optimum performance and higher adjustment speeds.

Bed adjustments will be slower when the power cord

is unplugged and the bed is powered from its battery backup system.
